Under Construction.......

In his book, Life Overflowing, TD Jakes says the following," Have you ever been on a construction site? There is a point in the construction of any building when the entire project is in disarray. There is steel and block everywhere, dirt and sands in piles. Everyone is wearing hard hats and safety glasses and the site looks like anything but a building. However it doesn't matter how things looks at the stage. The architect is there with his blue print. He has a vision for what the place is going to look like when it is finished. It's coming together. Although it may be days, months and years, the building is being built.

Hi, I’m Tuesday

So, fitting in… it’s such a strange concept actually. If you think about it, we’ve been trained to ‘fit in’ from birth. As a little girl I was exposed to endless fairy tales of what love looks like and of course Barbie dolls. When I got older fitting it was about having the right phone, the right brand of clothing, the right hairstyle and hair texture. When I reached adulthood it was about what car I drove, where I stayed (have I moved out of my parents’ place yet?), what job I had, and, of course, am I married yet? OH MY FLIPPING POTATO CAKES; who actually cares?!

I followed the music, the moon told me to.

In the weekend of VDJ, Durban is filled with a lot of fun you can think of and hotels fully booked by traveling guests whom like to experience the VDJ at first hand experience. I however on the other hand did not feel the need of going out, and so I bought snacks that will last me the weekend and watch movies as I had no intensions of being part of the VDJ fun.

Rejection gives direction by @shynoma

According to the dictionary Rejection can be defined as the act of pushing someone or something away. One may experience rejection from one's family of origin, a friend, or a romantic partner, and the resulting emotions can often be painful. Rejection might be experienced on a large scale or in small ways in everyday life.

Take back your Power!

Each morning, you have the opportunity to edit and rearrange your life. Do not rely on the world to pump life, love and hope into you. Life is personal work. Instead of depending on your circumstances, or reacting to what others are doing around you, know that all the time, you have the power to determine the shape, direction and quality of your life.

10 Ways to kick bad Habits

Over time, we may develop habits that do not serve us. Habits that are harmful to our health, hinder our performance at work, offset our efforts for a better life or destroy our relationships. With some willpower, strength, courage and support, we can all kick these bad habits and start the year on a clean slate.

FINDING ME

A couple of weeks ago I met a lady who also runs her own business. Nothing strange as I meet a lot of ladies who own businesses all the time. What I found strange though was the name of her business which at first seeing it you would think the business is a financial institution when it actually isn’t. After a few exchange of words, I suggested she rebrands. Firstly because the business doesn’t resonate with the services she offers but also because when she bought the building it was already named and she just continued with the name.

EXPECTATIONS

The word expectation is defined as; a strong belief that something will happen or be the case. There is power in expectations. Your expectations will dictate your work ethic, the decisions that you need to make, the thoughts you need to meditate on as well as the people you need to surround yourself with.

Walk with integrity

Integrity means the quality of being honest, truthful and having strong moral principles. I believe it is also a fundamental pillar of one’s character. In this day and age a lot of people struggle to walk with integrity. It is easy to make promises, particularly in times of excitement and good feelings. But most times, the circumstances under which we have to fulfill those promises might be a far cry from what they were when we made them. When the time comes to go through with what we said, it might no longer be easy and convenient. Integrity is therefore one’s capacity to keep one’s promises, even when it’s not convenient.
